MRI scan - do I need to fast?

Hi. Newly diagnosed with endometrial/ womb cancer, I have an MRI scan for tomorrow morning. I didn't actually speak to the hospital - they left a voicemail message earlier today. Do I need to fast before the MRI? The hospital didn't mention anything, but I wondered if anyone knew.

  • Hi LondonLoop,

    I saw your post and wanted to send a reply as you mention you have the appointment tomorrow. I can't say for sure, but it is likely the hospital team would have told you in the message if there was anything in particular you needed to do to prepare.

    We do have some information about MRI scans on our website, in case this is helpful.

    Hope it goes OK tomorrow.

    Best wishes,
